That's good feedback. One of the challenges is that Numpy's datetime64
type does not store time zone offset information. So I think we either state that datetime
s are "naive" and have no knowledge of time zones, or we say that they are assumed/required to be UTC. The other option is creating another data type that can be used in NumPy arrays that has time zone information. But that will bring other challenges and perhaps complicate adoption.

I don't care too much if numpy
is limited. yardl
shouldn't be 😄 .
If you say that DateTime
is secs (or whatever) since the epoch, it is time zone dependent. The epoch is a specific time in UTC.
I have no idea how "seconds since epoch" is computed (i.e. taking leap years/seconds etc into account or not). There's probably an RFC or other standard on that somewhere, which you could/should refer to.
An apparently frequently referenced/debated set of suggestions is https://apiux.com/2013/03/20/5-laws-api-dates-and-times/
By the way, I think that using "nanosecs since epoch" is probably asking for trouble, given possible uncertainty on leap secs and all that. This goes well beyond what I know about time conventions though.
We do need a "TimeZone" type I believe. We definitely want to be able to store this.
